Greenspan warns of recession
Recession story here
Way to go, Dems! It only took two months of being at the helm to wreck the booming economy.

Calling for the resignation of Gil Smart
I wanted to especially thank those letter writers in this week's Sunday paper who couldn't have put it better.
Gil should throw in the Terrible Towel and call it quits.
It is my stance that Gil does not research his column. He doesn't give us informed opinions. In fact, he could be doing more harm than good in propogating certain myths and fallacies in his column.
It certainly would be refreshing to get a new perspective, even if it were a liberal one. All I would ask is that it would at least be an informed opinion rather than a confessional about how you say certain phrases "just to tick people off."
Lancaster deserves someone that will give us a respectful column, regardless of our political views. If Gil wants to write a blog like that, I don't see a problem with it. But week after week on the front page of the Lancaster Sunday News perspective section is getting quite old and people are just fed up with the mistreatment that LNP allows.
LNP just seems to be a very amature place to work with little professionalism these days. I hope they will see that and mend their ways.

Has Pelosi solved the Iraq situation yet?
No, and Democrats have done little in the way of reducing fatality rates in Iraq for Coalition soldiers.
While Republicans were in office, the Coalition forces (comprised of 25 countries currently besides the US) were on the path to disengagement. However, since then - there has been an "insurgent offensive".
While Democrats were telling us that a new Congress would help ease Middle East tensions, the reality of the situation is that it encouraged insurgent offensives and killed more American soldiers in the process.
What will Reid, Pelosi, and Co. do to help "solve this situation"? Why, bicker with the Commander-in-Chief, of course!

Follow-up on "the Narc"
If you remember, one of "the Narc" stories I had been posting about drew this comment from a visitor.
When I checked the stats visitation on this site with the comment poster, it matched a LOL user HARV1 from Berea, Kentucky.
It appeared that this person is a frequent visitor on Ancestory webpages and is a fanatic in researching family histories under the same username: Harv1. It didn't take long to identify from there.
Take a gander at some chili Harv1 has cooking here.
Made such of myself that I received more than 40 emails in less than 12 hours from people with information on you. Careful, many are from your homefront.

Iran produces less than 5% of the world's oil
Information from this chart was gathered from here.
The U.S. produced about twice as much oil as Iran in 2004 (the most recent statistics available).

An experiment that hints we are wrong on climate change
Article
Flashback:
The truth about global warming - it's the Sun that's to blame
When politicians and journalists declare that the science of global warming is settled, they show a regrettable ignorance about how science works. We were treated to another dose of it recently when the experts of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change issued the Summary for Policymakers that puts the political spin on an unfinished scientific dossier on climate change due for publication in a few months’ time. They declared that most of the rise in temperatures since the mid-20th century is very likely due to man-made greenhouse gases.
The small print explains “very likely” as meaning that the experts who made the judgment felt 90% sure about it. Older readers may recall a press conference at Harwell in 1958 when Sir John Cockcroft, Britain’s top nuclear physicist, said he was 90% certain that his lads had achieved controlled nuclear fusion. It turned out that he was wrong. More positively, a 10% uncertainty in any theory is a wide open breach for any latterday Galileo or Einstein to storm through with a better idea. That is how science really works.
Twenty years ago, climate research became politicised in favour of one particular hypothesis, which redefined the subject as the study of the effect of greenhouse gases. As a result, the rebellious spirits essential for innovative and trustworthy science are greeted with impediments to their research careers. And while the media usually find mavericks at least entertaining, in this case they often imagine that anyone who doubts the hypothesis of man-made global warming must be in the pay of the oil companies. As a result, some key discoveries in climate research go almost unreported.
Enthusiasm for the global-warming scare also ensures that heatwaves make headlines, while contrary symptoms, such as this winter’s billion-dollar loss of Californian crops to unusual frost, are relegated to the business pages. The early arrival of migrant birds in spring provides colourful evidence for a recent warming of the northern lands. But did anyone tell you that in east Antarctica the Adélie penguins and Cape petrels are turning up at their spring nesting sites around nine days later than they did 50 years ago? While sea-ice has diminished in the Arctic since 1978, it has grown by 8% in the Southern Ocean.
So one awkward question you can ask, when you’re forking out those extra taxes for climate change, is “Why is east Antarctica getting colder?” It makes no sense at all if carbon dioxide is driving global warming. While you’re at it, you might inquire whether Gordon Brown will give you a refund if it’s confirmed that global warming has stopped. The best measurements of global air temperatures come from American weather satellites, and they show wobbles but no overall change since 1999.
